"So you're here because of human trafficking?"
They sat in a coffee shop on the street. Lin Qiaomei was wearing a skirt that Xue Nu bought for her. In a hurry, she just made do with it.
Lin Qiaomei looked out the window - the children and their parents playing under the green shade, the benches on the street and the clear fountains. All of this made her feel like she had returned to the human world. Even the white noise of the customers' whispers in the coffee shop beside her ears gave her a sense of security.
"Yes...it's an overseas gang called Huajiuhui."
Lin Qiaomei briefly recounted her experience and mentioned that she had a brother who was sold here in her early years, and she didn't know how he was doing now.
"Although it's very extravagant, I really want to see my brother. I don't know what he is doing now. Those people will definitely not treat him well..."
By removing the emotional part, the Snow Girl captured the key information.
The mayor is in cahoots with the gangs.
No, maybe he doesn't need to collude with the gangs. Since his bodyguards buy goods from the gangs, he can't clean up the dirty water splashed on his head, not to mention that it may not be dirty water. If he wants to stand firm in this place where killers gather (although their strengths vary), is there really no connection with the local gangs behind him?
Even if they are reluctant, they will have to come into contact with each other. However, judging from Mayor Harada's behavior, he should have already established a good coexistence relationship with the other party.
This coexistence is built on the blood and bones of countless people and the grievances that cannot be told.
She turned her head and saw a mayoral election poster on the wall of the grocery store across the street. Mayor Harada was smiling in an extremely hypocritical manner.
Ah, how ironic.
She drank the iced coffee in front of her in one gulp. The cool feeling made her, who liked the shade, feel comfortable.
"Let's go." said the Snow Girl.
"Huh?"
"Go find your brother."
To be precise, they were going to wipe out the Huajiu Association and the mayor.
By the way, send your brother over to reunite with you.
Yamada waited and waited but there was no news from the Snow Girl, and the girl even turned off her phone. Anxious, he had no choice but to sneak into Enoki's private room, but the girl told him, "Ah, your master is doing something important, and he will contact you soon."
He felt that he was just doing it perfunctorily and the pressure was even greater, so he simply decided not to leave and just stay here with Enokida.
Enokida couldn't do anything about him. "I can't stand you. Hey, open a card and go to the side booth. This one is too small. It's too crowded for two people to sit in."
After much urging from Yamada, the Snow Girl finally arrived.
Seeing his god return to his place, he was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
"Where on earth have you been? Wuwuwu——"
The Snow Girl let him move away from her legs with disgust.
"I went for a cup of coffee."
Lin Qiaomei, who witnessed the whole process, said: ...It's such an understatement. If she didn't know everything, she would have almost believed it.
Yamada: "Well, then what kind of coffee would you like? I'll remember it. Americano? Latte? Cappuccino? Or--"
"Enokida." After interrupting Yamada's noisy and aimless shouting, the snow woman called out his name.
"What... did you bring someone here?" Enoki looked at Lin Qiaomei curiously, and the latter subconsciously shrank behind the Snow Girl, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, just an intelligence dealer."
"Even bad people won't say they are bad people." Yamada complained in a low voice.
Enokida: “…”
The Snow Girl leaned against the wall of the private room and said to Enokida, "I want to find out about this child. She said she has a brother who was also sold here. Let her tell you the details."
Enoki looked at Lin Qiaomei, who was still a little timid. Perhaps thinking of her lost brother, she quickly gained courage.
He told Enoda everything about his situation.
Enoki took a bite of his Coke straw and concluded, "That means you are all being sold as commodities by Huajiu... OK, I'll check now. Do you know your brother's name? How old is he? Or do you have a photo?"
"As for a photo, I have one." Lin Qiaomei touched her body, her face froze, and she remembered that her things had been taken away by those people.
Seeing her like this, Enokida knew what was going on.
He simply hacked into the archive and started looking for information. The age might be falsified, so he simply expanded the time range. Finally, based on the bank's transaction records, he actually found Lin Qiaomei's brother.
“…It turns out it was really him.”
The photo was enlarged, and everyone present saw it—
It is a "woman" with long golden hair.
This face is so similar to Lin Qiaomei that it is hard to believe that the two are not related.
"Your brother is now working for the Huajiu Society as a killer, but there have been some conflicts recently... Never mind, I know where he is, so I won't disturb your touching reunion."
After sending the address to the Snow Girl's mobile phone, the latter paid the money with satisfaction.
The Snow Girl asked: "Can you hack into that person's phone?"
Enokida: "Are you talking about Lin Xianming?"
Snow Girl: "Tell him that his sister is here with me, and ask him to come to the designated address to find me."
After sending the message to Enoda, Enoda did as he was told, saying, "...You sounded like you kidnapped his sister. However, doing so would completely break off relations with the Hua Jiu Society. Forget it, after all, you even ruthlessly removed the mayor from office. What are your plans next?"
"Please help me spread the news about Yusuke Harada. The price is negotiable. I can afford it as long as you ask."
"…Are you making such a big deal? It seems that the mayor's son is just a stepping stone for you, and you've used him thoroughly. But you've done a good thing, and I can help you."
Enoki asked jokingly, "...But with such a big battle, are you going to enter the military and political circles?"
Seeing that she remained silent, Enoda blinked.
...Is it true?
…
…
"What's going on..."
Lin Xianming paced anxiously in the room. He refused Zhang's order to kill someone, and soon received such a message.
Are you kidding? Let him call and come over to bow to him again? I won't do such a thing.
"If you're so concerned, why don't you just go and take a look?" Baba suggested. "If you're worried, I can go with you."
"No need!" Lin Xianming looked at the information on the screen, and the word "sister" stung his eyes.
Shouldn't Qiao Mei be staying in China? Did Zhang attack her because she didn't obey? That was too quick, unless...
"Those bastards!"
He immediately understood: "Qiao Mei was brought to Japan by them a long time ago!"
If this continues, waiting will be impossible.
He packed his things angrily and was about to go to the appointment. Baba was looking at the mobile forum. There were originally many people discussing Yusuke Harada's affairs, but the news was immediately removed.
(That's only natural, unless the person who captured Harada continues to fight to the death... Otherwise, he will be retaliated, right?)
(I don’t know how many hawks and dogs the mayor has.)
"I'll go too."
He closed his phone.
The agreed location was next to a small fountain in the commercial district. After Lin Xianming rushed to the scene, he immediately began to search for the person he was looking for. He thought about whether the person who teased him was a man or a woman, tall or short, and what his identity was. The hand in his pocket was already tightly holding the knife, so that if the other party made a move, he could also counterattack immediately.
He thought he was fully prepared, but his efforts were in vain after he saw the girl in a dress next to the fountain.
The bustling passers-by seemed to have turned into smoke.
There was only each other in the eyes of the two, faces that were similar except for the different genders.
Lin Qiaomei didn't think too much about it. She blurted out subconsciously: "Brother...?"
"…Is it my brother?"
Lin Xianming stood there, and his first reaction was whether this was a trap.
For example, if there is a sniper on the platform ready to strike at any time, the person in front of you is probably just a bait, right?
Is this really Qiao Mei?
"Qiao Mei——" he murmured in a low voice.
He subconsciously took a step forward, and at that moment all his pride as a professional killer was put aside.
Nothing is more important than being reunited with your family.
Isn't this what he has been looking forward to and striving for?
"I……"
"Congratulations."
The cold female voice suddenly interrupted this warm reunion. The Snow Girl came over and looked at Lin Xianming: "However, this is not a good place to talk. Your sister's safety cannot be guaranteed under the watchful eyes of the public. I guess you are now on guard to see if there are people ambushing and sniping you, right?"
After Lin Xianming was exposed, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he thought about how he had just let down his guard.
But he regained his guard and asked, "Who are you?", holding the dagger tightly.
The Snow Girl glanced at the horse farm hidden in the corner but did not expose it.
She smiled and said, "For the time being, I am your sister's savior."
"……?"
Before Lin Xianming could verify whether this was true, Xue Nu continued slowly, "I have to state in advance that my time is limited, so I will only tell you the following once."
"——Are you interested in completely destroying the Huajiu Society?"
Lin Xianming looked at the woman in front of him.
The other person's words seemed to have some kind of magical power, making him believe it without a doubt -
"With pleasure."
At the same time, Enokida pressed the final button.
Yusuke Harada's video went viral on the Internet.
…
…
A hot post on the BBS, titled "Is our world about to end?", received many replies after the incident with Harada Yusuke. At the same time, old posts about the sighting of the man with the slit mouth, Hanako's ghost story, the snowman attacking a male high school student, and the battle between Hashikari and the killer were also pushed to the top.
[So, is our world going to end? Don’t you think there are too many reports of sightings like this recently?
[Didn't Yukio clarify that it was a movie special effect a long time ago? Well, I really don't like those little idols... They made such a big gimmick and ended up being just a drink commercial.]
[The person above, do you really think this is a drink ad? The person involved has come forward to tell his story. I was less than a kilometer away from that school. I was smoking on the balcony that day when I saw a prism made of ice suddenly rise up in front of me... To be honest, I thought aliens were coming.]
【I bet this reply will be deleted soon. 】
[Ah, I got picked. Who will post that comment? ]
[I took a screenshot, [picture], it was deleted so quickly, I guess it must be true, so is the government deliberately blocking the news? ]
[By the way, what about Yusuke Harada? Is that true? The mayor’s son? He’s such a disgusting scumbag… I saw someone scribbled on the mayor’s poster. He deserves it.]
【People from the same university came to speak out, and I felt it was true. After all, he usually likes to tease girls and bully people he doesn't like. Rather than bullying, it's better to say that he treats human life as a toy... It's like a murderer passing by. If you meet such a person, you can only blame yourself. You didn't do anything wrong, but he killed you.】
【Isn’t this a society ruled by law? 】
[The government is doomed to fail, as it has a scumbag father as mayor.]
【Our city will not be able to hold its head up because of this bunch of scum. 】
[Are all the people around the mayor actually killers? Really? The secretary too?]
【Wow... It's so magical. 】
[Is there really nothing we can do about this kind of person?]
[[Video] Look at this and this, first-hand information! ]
【Uh, what is this? 】
[It is said that the local gang was wiped out by someone. It’s really terrible——]
[Rumor: It is said that the mayor has a close relationship with the local gangs, and they are in cahoots with each other. ]
【Hurry, hurry, hurry, look at this!! [Video]】
[What is this? Where did this beautiful lady come from? Did you post to the wrong thread?]
[No, no, this was dug out by a hacker friend of mine. It is said that she came out of Yusuke Harada's room. Oh my god, oh my god, you see, she disappeared directly from the end of the video!!!]
[Is it p...]
[Shit, is this the point? The point is that something happened to him after she left Harada Yusuke! Do you really not think there is a problem?]
[Don't be ridiculous, did the young lady ask him to turn himself in? ]
[How else can you explain this? Yusuke Harada must have hit a wall, right?]
[This has nothing to do with the title of the post? 】
[No... you just... didn't you notice that this girl looks very similar to the snowman from the previous snowman incident? What if? For example, she's a snowwoman...]
[I think it is more likely that she is a person with special abilities. ]
[What if the Huajiu Club, which colluded with the mayor, was also wiped out by her? Isn't that cool? She's doing justice for the heavens!]
[The mayor is involved with the underworld, and in the end the monsters stand up for the humans...]
[Forget it, if this is true, then this country is really doomed. (Hands raised helplessly)]

At Jiuyuan, a large group of people also gathered around the TV.
As a former public security policeman, Morobushi Jingguang had mixed feelings when he saw this kind of case. With a heart full of professional sentiment, he still asked Jiuyuan for confirmation: "Is that really a monster?"
"Yes." Jiuyuan commented in a sophisticated manner, "That guy really likes to do such exaggerated things. The more old-fashioned the monsters are, the more they care about pomp and circumstance... Do monsters also have a sense of ceremony?"
Judging from the situation, the news has probably only been spreading for a day or two.
Although today was beyond his imagination.
Oda Sakunosuke walked past the store and casually reminded, "The kitchen is running low on ingredients. Do you want me to buy some?"
"Ah, no need, just rest. Hachishaku will be back soon, I'll leave it to him."
Oda Sakunosuke: "Is it okay? Won't it cause a commotion?"
"…It should be okay if I just buy something, right?"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Jiuyuan said, "Look, he's back now, isn't he?"
However, when the door opened, the person at the door was not Hachishaku, but a strange man wearing glasses.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Huang Quanchuan?"
"Could you provide me with some clues about Yusuke Harada's case?"
